Dev Patel stars as Sir Gawain, a member of King Arthur\u2019s Knights of the Round Table, whose virtue, honor and bravery is tested by one of Arthurian mythology\u2019s best-known and most mysterious figures \u2014 and who looks fittingly awe-inspiring in the first look revealed today.<br \/>\nThe studio, who had a strong awards season with the likes of Robert Eggers\u2019 The Lighthouse, the Adam Sandler-starring Uncut Gems, Independent Spirit Award Best Feature winner The Farewell and Midsommar, is making a big push for Green Knight. A24 has set a May 29 release date for it, and it will be one of the studio\u2019s biggest screen counts to date (for example, 2018\u2019s Hereditary bowed on 2,964 screens).<br \/>\nThe interpretation of the Sir Gawain and the Green Knight tale has varied from its 14th century medieval origins, with different versions tracing from the Pearl Poet and Thomas Malory to JRR Tolkein and John Boorman (Liam Neeson played Gawain in 1981\u2019s Excalibur). This take penned by Lowery frames Gawain as King Arthur\u2019s reckless and headstrong nephew, who embarks on a daring quest to confront the Green Knight (Ralph Ineson), a gigantic emerald-skinned stranger and tester of men. Gawain contends with ghosts, giants, thieves, and schemers in what becomes a deeper journey to define his character and prove his worth in the eyes of his family and kingdom.<br \/>\nAlicia Vikander, Joel Edgerton, Sarita Choudhury and Sean Harris also star along with Kate Dickie and Ineson (the latter two reunite after starring in Eggers\u2019 The Witch). Lowery is producing alongside Toby Halbrooks and James M. Johnston via their Sailor Bear production banner, and Tim Headington and Theresa Steele Page of Ley Line Entertainment.<br \/>\nCheck out the trailer above and the poster below.\n<\/div>\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog_hollywood\/article1094_slide1.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom: 10px;padding-top: 10px\" align=\"center\"><strong>Videos<\/strong><\/div>\n<div><div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_32655\"  width=\"1140\" height=\"641\"  data-origwidth=\"1140\" data-origheight=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VoJc2tH3WBw?enablejsapi=1&autoplay=0&cc_load_policy=0&cc_lang_pref=&iv_load_policy=1&loop=0&rel=1&fs=1&playsinline=0&autohide=2&theme=dark&color=red&controls=1&disablekb=0&\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom: 10px;padding-top: 10px\" align=\"center\"><strong>Style to wear<\/strong><\/div>\n<div id='sa_invalid_postid'>Slide Anything shortcode error: A valid ID has not been provided<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A24 has released a teaser trailer for The Green Knight, its upcoming epic fantasy adventure film from Ain\u2019t Them Bodies&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17094","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news-hollywood"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.shows4.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17094","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.shows4.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.shows4.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shows4.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shows4.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=17094"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.shows4.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17094\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.shows4.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=17094"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shows4.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=17094"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shows4.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=17094"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
